Title: Fame, Glory, Death
Characters: Severus Snape
Rating: G
Notes: Drawn for the 2012 [livejournal.com profile] snapecase category 2, which called for stories and art depicting Severus from 11-20 years old. The day Severus took the Dark Mark, the young Death Eater was filled with pride, ambition and vindication. He had found acceptance among a group of powerful peers who appreciated his skills, saw beyond his appearance, and welcomed him despite his family limitations.

Yes. This. This is EXACTLY how I imagine a young Severus, finally finding a place to belong and acceptance.

I really wanted to catch him in a moment of self-satisfaction and smugness.

I've caught him there in fic a few times. It's a fun place to be.

Oooh! I daresay there's a certain Rickman-esque flourish in that right hand!

You're seriously workin' it with the ink, Shannon. God, seeing your art again makes me happy.

There was such amazing stuff on snapecase. I still haven't finished savoring it all.

Truly beautiful ♥

I shall again say how much I love the Firewhiskey piece that is hanging in the dungeons... I admire it every single day. It is an inspiring and mystical image to me :-)

I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that you enjoy that piece so.

Thank you, TMP. I need to get back to artsing and less crafting or working. There just hasn't been enough Snape around here of late.

Great coloring, I also really like how you managed the foreshortening on his marked arm. :)

I love the vibrant colors you can get with ink, but I am still struggling with how to make it appear even. This green is my latest favorite shade.

I'm assuming that the background is marker and what I've found helps is to layer the solid color using a lighter color to blend(in this case a lighter green or yellow) and working fast.

The lighter color on top?

From: [identity profile] akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com
Yes, what I usually do is lay down a layer of the color I want, then layer in the lighter color and then another layer of the original color.

You can also do this using a lighter shade of colored pencil over the original marker layer and then adding another marker layer on top of that if you're using a paper that works well with both media.

There are colorless blenders for markers but I've not had much success with them and prefer the above method.

I will try something like this. I think the particular challenge comes with larger areas of pure color, which should probably be avoided.

I've found the effectiveness of the colorless blender varies depending on the particular colored pencil. I like how it works with some of the darker colors, but I've never used it in combination with marker.
